    Food and ambiance are always great at Alobar. The service is fantastic. There seems to be a bit confusion with reservation in the beginning but is just a small hiccup. Overall experience is very pleasant

    Great experience. Food was on point. Everything tasty and cooked perfectly. Drinks were good, but I did find my martini was good, but not as good as I would normally expect. Overall, a great experience. Would definitely return.

    I booked a reservation for my fiancé and I to celebrate his big 40. We were seated right on time and our server was great. They followed the instructions for his cake to come out with a candle. Our food was great but it took about half an hour to get our main after our appetizer and there was a bit of a lag between each course which was kind of unfortunate but overall food was great and drinks were great. Although we felt the size of drinks were pretty small for what we were expecting. We ordered Iberico pork chop and New York strip loin. The meats were magical but kind of sad that it doesn’t come with anything else and you have to pay for a side separately. I would rather just have it included in the price with an options to replace with another for additional pricing. All in all a good experience

    Thank you so much Khush for your positive review and for taking the time to share some feedback. While we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your food and felt your fiancé was celebrated, we are saddened to hear that certain aspects didn't live up to expectations. We appreciate your patience during your evening and will be taking your suggestion of sides to our chefs. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, we hope for the opportunity to host you again and improve.

    Alo Bar downtown is always a great time, especially during happy hour. Fantastic food, delicious drinks, and superb service! A good way to end a long work day, or wait out the crazy rush hour, or just to enjoy a wee bite or bevy. Many thanks for yet another wonderful experience.

    Small selection of meals with an impressive wine list and an on staff sommelier. Everything that we ordered was perfectly paired with wine. We shared seafood platter with 1/2 champagne, I had lobster with white wine and my guest had stake with red wine. For dessert we shared a cheesecake, which came perfectly cut for us, and paired with sweet red wine. I gave up reading the wine list and entrusted the pairing choices to Andre, the sommelier that night. It was a magnificent experience! Highly recommend for a special occasion (too pricey for a routine event)

    Dear, Zoya. Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience at our restaurant. Your kind words are greatly appreciated by the entire team here at Alobar Downtown and I'm sure Andrea will be very happy to hear you enjoyed our list and his suggested pairings! We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable dining experience!
